New York Music Map
Having lived in the New York during the 90s, Frank Broughton the creative director was greatly inspired from the place and wrote about various scenes of the city. However, it was the music of New York City that defined him eventually.
The New York music map is a joint effort by Broughton and his Kingdom Collective friends. It has been compiled and illustrated by Adam Hayes. The updated version of the map pinpoints every reference of New York in songs, with a corresponding website that takes you to the respective tracks which you can listen whenever you like (sound amazing on this Harman Kardon Esquire Mini Portable Wireless Speaker). The map is available in A2 and A1 sizes.
Rouben’s Rum
Music lovers know him as one of the most popular and best-selling artists of the present times, but Rory Graham, also known as Rag’n’Bone Man, used to be a member of Rum Committee (Brighton hip-hop collective) too.
Rory’s team has put in lots of efforts and created a limited edition ‘Rouben’s Rum’ to celebrate his amazing year! It’s a very nice blend of Scottish golden rum and an aged Caribbean rum, personally picked by Rory for all his friends and family. They have produced only a small batch of a few hundred bottles, with every bottle having its own unique number. It’s a must-have for any music-loving man who also loves his drink!
